Hi Hillf,sorry for a so delayed replay, but I was really busy in the lasttwo weeks.

Before going inline I would anyway stress the point that we triedto be as much aligned as we could with sched_rt.c. This is adesign choice and the reason behind is simple: -rt is highlytested and verified. Since conceptually -dl doesn't differ to muchfrom -rt, beeing based on it allows two things: - try to not incur in known design flaws/bugs - exploit the community work on -rt for -dl benefit (patches on -rt can be quite straightforwardly applied to -dl)

However, this doesn't mean that both codes are immutable, only thatchanges in -rt must be well documented to be applied and we wouldlike to take advantage of this work in an indirect way as much aswe can. At the same time we are also playing with the push/pullmechanism, so I can understand your interest :-P.
